I have a form1 which record source table1 is and this form1 contains a continuous subform linked to table2. how do I automatically populate a field of table2 with th primarykey from table1, in order to show in the subform only those records related to the same primarykey as from form1.
thanks in advance!
I am not sure if this has been done in a table before. I have seen it in forms but not in tables.
Here is my problem.
I have created a database for a planespotters club. This database has the tables.
ac_logged
ac_maker
ac_model
country
airport
I am trying to display selected information in the ac_logged tbl that is related to other cells. For example: If someone selects boeing in the maker field they will only boeing models in the model field. Also, if someone enters Ireland in the country field only the airports for that country would be listed.
I don’t want to do this in a form but I could settle for a query if I have to.
I was just wondering if this could be done in a table as opposed to any other way.
Hope I have made myself clear on this one. :confused:
OK, here is my situation. I have an access database which is updated automatically every night with new data. My companies solution to this is each morning, the entire database is downloaded to my computer to be used by another application.
In one of the tables, there is a field that doesn't work for my purposes, so each day I have to manually open the table, and change the contents of that field for every record. For example, lets say I have the following table:
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
Rec1 Wigets Faucet Model1A
Rec2 Wigets Faucet Model1B
Rec3 Wigets Sink Model1A
Rec4 Wigets Sink Model1B
Rec5 Wigets Toilet Model1A
Each day I manually change Field2 so it reads "Total" and whatever is in Field2:
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
Rec1 Total Faucets Faucet Model1A
Rec2 Total Faucets Faucet Model1B
Rec3 Total Sinks Sink Model1A
Rec4 Total Sinks Sink Model1B
Rec5 Total Toilets Toilet Model1A
Each morning when I receive the new database download, they all go back to widgets.
Is there a macro or module I can create to automatically look at Field3, and then assign a new value to Field2 based on Field3's value?
Any help would be appreciated!!!!
I have 2 questions/problems:
1. I want to populate a list box with all the Tables Names in my Database using VBA.
2. I also want to create another List Box or Grid (or any thing that will show table data) that when i have select a Table Name (See above (1)) it will show all the data in that table in the List Box. Was thinking some kind of SQL using vba to populate the list box?
Any ideas or help will be much appreciated

I have two tables (Table 1, Table 2). Table 1 is blank and has the fields "Field1, Field2, and Field3." Table 2 has data and 10 different fields ("Field1, Field2", etc). I want to copy all data from the matching fields in Table 2 to the corresponding Table 1. I've tried an Update Query in design view. Did not join any records, and just a simple:
Field: Field 1
Table: Table 1
Update To: [Table2]![Field5]
This returns 0 records to update. I thought about a Make Table to override the entire Table, but that isn't working either.
I have a table called BID with the following fields
bidder, seller, iid, starttime, bidtime, and bidprice
bidder is an id number that is reference to uid of table USER
the USER table have the following fields,
uid, uname, city, and state
I created a BID form for the user to enter data into the BID table. What I am trying to do but is having trouble with is have the user search for their name that may already be store in the uname field in the user table, and what ever they choose base on their search, the uid of this uname gets store into the bidder field of the bid table.
I still have a second step where the user in the bid form can search the iid but shows the itemname from the item table, and the value of seller, iid, and starttime from the auction table gets populated into the bid table.
iid from the auction table is reference to the itemtype and the following fields exist in the itemtype table.
iid, itemname, description
1. I have a table which lists all of the equipment we use in our company and would like to use it as a template in a form so that users can select a checkmark if the equipment is being used that day. The checked items would then be used to populate another table which records all of the equipment the user has selected. I thought the checkmark method would be best so that the user can scroll through the list of equipment and select multiple pieces for the day. The reason I don't use a multi-value field is so that the user can also enter quantity and hours of equipment used in the same table when they scroll through the list.
2. Once all of the equipment pieces have been checked, I would like the user to be able to click a review button which would navigate to the next form with all of the selections for the day. This new form will have the option to go back to the first form if any corrections need to be made. And also have the option to submit the results.
3. Once the user is finished with their selections, the user can then select Submit which will finalize the recorded equipment table and clear the checkboxes and any inputs from the equipment template table (without modifying anything) so that it can be used for the next day and so forth.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've created a database with entries corresponding to different participants in a tasting experiment. All the entries are stored in a single table. The participants are each members of a family, with participants of a family given a family number (increments with family) (see image link below).

I want to be able to check that for either 'Mother' or 'Father' of 'Child1','Child2', etc. within the same family, the location within the sweet, sour, bitter column is the same.
(I'm asssuming five queries will have to be run, one for each of the flavours).
To reiterate, I want to check for example if 'Mother' and 'Child1' within 'Family Number' 3 taste 'Bitter' in the same place (Which they do - 'Middle').

I have a table called External Audit.
I want each record to get a unique sequential number on the basis of Type of Audit.
Type of Audit column has 3 options OB, INR, MINR to choose from
If i select type as OB then the notification number should start from 1 and carry on numbering it whenever I select the same value.
When I select different type eg: INR then it should again start number on the basis of type. INR1 INR2, INR3 etc.
Is sequential number is the right word to use for this function ?
Doing Ctrl + ' will put in the value from the cell above it. But I want to do this across 4 columns. On one row, I am selecting across 4 columns and doing Ctrl + ' and only the first cell populates with the value above it.
Is there a way to get the 3 other columns to populate with the value of them (the values are different across all columns).
I have one database containing several tables, two of which are associated to this inquiry:
1) tblCategories
Contains two columns: CatID and Category Name
2) tblPending
Contains many columns of data obtained through upload from a web form including a column to capture the CatID and also a column for Category Name.
I wish to populate the Category Name column based on the results of data uploaded into CatID column
How is this accomplished? This is inherited project and I have very little experience with Access so just limping along...
Specific instruction much appreciated.
Thank you.
I have a small problem: I have a table with over 20 columns. In every column there are some 1's, but the other cells or tuples are empty. In these empty cells I want to write a 0. So I need an UPDATE query.
But what should I write for the WHERE condition? So he should check every cell and if there's no 1, write a 0.
I have a simple form (frmAddPaper): txtPaper where user enters name of new newspaper, and cboCity, where user selects the newspapers town.
Also Close and Save buttons.I also have a table, tblCity. Columns as follow: CityID, City, Paper1, Paper2, Paper3, Paper4, Paper5, Paper 6.
Some cities have values (Newspaper names) in just Paper1 field. Others in Paper 1 & Paper 2, and some in Paper1, Paper2 and Paper3.I want to add the txtPaper value, to the first empty column, in the row where cboCity matches City column.
Table 1:
Account Number
Start Date
End Date
Cost data**
Budget data**
Table 2 (Imported excel file with cost/budget data):
Account Number
Cost data**
Budget data**
Table 1 is the main table that will be viewable in this database. The idea here is that new Account Numbers can be added to Table 1 throughout the year. It then pulls the cost/budget data into Table 1 based on the matching Account Number between table 1 and 2.
So, if the Account Number (Table 1) = Account Number (Table 2) then it pulls the cost/budget data into the cells on that row. I am trying to make this automated since this data is updated weekly and imported into Table 2 from excel.
I have imported an Excel table with a column which has several values in one cell separated by "". In my case names of institutions afiliated with a patent. Example of the format of a single cell: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (US) RIVE TECHNOLOGY INC (US)
In order to normalize the Access database I would like to extract the institutions to a separate table (institutions) and that the patent is related to both institutions.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am creating a database to keep up with the expenses for my art business. I have a table for Vendors with a field (Mileage) for one-way mileage that I enter manually (EX: 11.8 miles). Then I have a calculated field that basically just multiplies the Mileage field times two to get total mileage to and from my house to vendor location. (Total Miles) {The reason I want to do this this way right now is because I didn't keep up with my mileage this year and I am having to look up the distance from my home to each location)
Then I have a "supplies" table where I show the date, the vendor, the item, cost, etc, and I want to add a Total Mileage field based on the calculated Total Miles field in the Vendors table that will automatically populate based on the vendor of each transaction. I just can't remember how to make this work and I know just enough SQL to be dangerous.
Hi I am new here. This is probably an easy question but I have not been using access long and would appreciate some help. What I want to do is query two tables. The first table has fields INST_NBR and PRICE_LIST that I need to find a match on in another table with the exact same field names. Whe a match is found, I need to populate a new table that is already defined with fields from both of the tables I used in my query. So lets say I have table 1 and table 2. I want to use the fields INST_NBR and PRICE_LIST from table 1 to find the match in table 2 using the same field names. When I find a match on the two fields populate table 3 with fields from table 1 and table 2.
I hope that this is not confusing. Unfortunatly I cannot post a sample because they are linked table from our SQL server. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in andvance.
hello there,
just curious if it was possible to populate an empty tables' fields from a recordset that had been defined earlier in VBA under the criteria of a bit of sql code?
cheers.
Is there a way to take a value entered in a table to calculate a new value to populate a second field in the table? For example, if the user enters that the company has received $100 from a client, I need to show that $100 in the income field of the table, but then also calculate the commission based on a formula, and save that new commission value as well.
I was doing this in a query, but then the value doesn't get stored...
Thanks...
Okay--I have a table of scholarships, and each one has fields for primary contact, secondary contact, tertiary contact, etc., in which the names of the contacts associated with each scholarship are stored. What I need to do is to have every name pulled from this table and listed--each as its own row--in another table. I'd like it to do this automatically so that if a new name is added to the scholarship table, it will create a new row in the other table.

I am trying to populate a field on Table (Drawing Sheets - Arch) from field on Table (Project Information). I had attached an image for reference.
Table (Drawing Sheets - Arch) has a relationship with Table (Project Information) which is the Project_Number. I can populate this manually but it will take me forever as this are 500+. I had done the other Field (Revisions) using a Query but this is not linked to another Table so it is easy to type "0".
I had tried to make a Query and using the "Build" (Right-click from the Update to) but I couldn't make it right.
So the information that I had to start with was
Colours
Silver
Black
Material
Metal
Plastic
Rubber
Digital
Component
Screen
Keyboard
Mouse Pad
Case
Hinge
So I've created 3 tables - one for each information group arranged like so. However my problems are - I don't know how to make it so that as soon as all the info for one set of parts is filled another set automatically appears? And in the Design section of the Form I have the following error because I wasn't too sure what to use apart from a text box-
